It was a lovely day today. About 75 degrees, and not a cloud in the sky. A group of ten orphaned kids from Graaf Reinet came to our volunteer quarters today at 10 in the morning; we introduced ourselves, and then took them on a nice drive around the property so they could see some of the animals. Once we returned to our living quarters, we made some hotdogs for the kids, and had some lunch. Shortly after lunch, we walked to the Manner House, which is used for guests, but no one has been there since I have arrived. The trackers from the tracking academy all came with us to do some activities. We used the grass at the Manner House to play soccer and cricket with the kids for a couple of hours. After a short water break, the trackers walked around the property showing the kids different animal tracks, which they were very interested in. It is cool that these kids have a chance to get out of their orphan houses, and come appreciate nature at its finest. They left Samara about an hour ago, and Hayley has already set up another time for them to come back. I’m about to go collect some wood for the fire, and start up a nice braai. It’s getting kind of lonely around here with some of the volunteers leaving. I miss home, my friends, my family, and my lovely girlfriend Catty, but I know there are still great adventures to come! Time flies when you’re having fun!
